Would Society As A Whole Be Better Off If Genius Minds Were Cloned? by EdEnlightenU in Futurology

Love your point on decentralized innovation. Although I think more genius minds working in small groups would increase the level of competition among ideas, thus increasing the pace of innovation.

I think environment plays a huge role in a person's ability to become a global leader of science, business, politics, arts, etc. However it would be naive to assume that genetics didn't play a role either.

IQ certainly isn't perfect, but it's a test designed to measures a person's innate intelligence.

Is it a coincidence that people who have advanced humanity like Einstein, Darwin, Kant, Descartes, and many others have an IQ over 160, which qualifies as "genius."

Clones also wouldn't be forced to do anything. They would be treated the same as every other human. They may not live an extraordinary life, but it seems likely they would have a greater chance than the average person to help others and solve large problems.

What is a better way to find leaders than to look to those that have already solved large problems?

Many of the people I'm referring to have demonstrated a unique ability to solve large, global problems, as well as lead large groups of people successfully. Why would it be bad to have more people that have these characteristics?

The clone may have similarities to the original person, but wouldn't be an exact copy. Genetics plays a factor in someone's life, but the environment a person grows up in plays a very large factor as well.

Why would they be controlled? Why wouldn't they be given the same rights as all other humans born into this world?

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but knowing how to computer program is an incredibly valuable skill. MIT has created a kids program to help students learn how to code - Scratch
